    Well, it's hard yellow pine with a dovetailed case and the hinges look like they have been replaced/reset.

    Are you sure it's a blanket chest? is there a glove/ditty box?
    Looks more like a tool chest as there are no feet/bracket base and those strap iron wraps on both sides with exposed padlock catches just look more work related to me.

    Looks like a typical mid 19th century immigrants trunk to me.
